Thank you ! Yes I used to go to a natural health clinic that had a young man working there who said that his father was the first man in his wider family to reach 70. That family had a huge celebration for that 70th birthday.

One of your best, so well put. I love
“The old age lottery has
spat out its marbles,
done its worst”
My mothers words at her 80th birthday party were “I never thought I’d get to 80, non one else has so far” (meaning her family)
